"The Meaning of Life" is an uneven movie, to be sure, but that sequence stands out big time.

Hmmm... The Walkman has been replaced by the iPod, whilst Jaws 1-3 have been replaced by Jurassic Park 1-3. Other than that the song is remarkably spot-on after almost 30 years. (Well, maybe The Sound of Music doesn't get as much airplay as it once did, but I did find it on a few stations.) Damn, if that song doesn't make me miss Graham Chapman...

From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it

@get laid - while inaccurate in this case, that's a very funny line.

" ... Someday I intend reading it." -- Groucho Marx, to S J Perelman about his book Dawn Ginsbergh’s Revenge (1929), as quoted in LIFE (9 February 1962).

Yes, it's a familiar quote. To some of us as familiar as "Ask not..." or "Fourscore and seven ...." or "To be, or not to be...."

But I still think Groucho should get credit. "It's the price you have to pay." -- Rufus T. Firefly to Mrs. Teasdale, in "Duck Soup."
